Sending a macro as an executable?
 

Hi,

I have a few excellent macros which I use for family history purposes.
I have tried sending macros to people who request them, but usually I
get an enormous amount of email as the people who need them are not
usually computer-savvy and they are always doing things wrong and
getting into a mess.

What I would like to do is to send then an exe file, which they
double-click on, and it automatically adds an extra icon to their
toolbar with the macro attached to the icon.

Can this be easily done?

Regards and Best Wishes to the Forum for 2006.

Best wishes to you too

It is a bit of work, but if you follow these instructions, you will get a
reliable way of distributing your macros.
